My son and I are planning a fly fishing/camping trip to Slate Run, and the surrounding areas, next month, before he moves to Montana. (I know, right? LOL)
We are planning to focus mostly on Slate Run, especially from the 7 Mile Camp and Morris Run down to Manor Falls... but I would like to also explore the upper sections of Kettle Creek (and further down at the FFO section), Cross Fork and Young Woman's Creek (and maybe Hammersley Fork).
I have pretty much left my copies of... "Flyfisher's Guide to Pennsylvania" by Dave Wolf, "Trout Streams and Hatches of Pennsylvania" by Charles R. Meck and "Trout Streams of Pennsylvania, an Angler's Guide" by Dwight Landis... dogeared... As I take notes and look at maps and check the PF&B Commission site, I see there has been VERY significant changes at Kettle, Cross Fork and Young Woman's, since those books were published... They are stocking and for Cross Fork, Kettle at the FFO and Young Woman's and allowing for all tackle... And I wonder if Meck would still give those creeks his 3 and 4 star ratings and all the raves from Wolf and Landis?
Have the changes in regs and stocking changed, in a significant way, the reports by the above authors several years ago? I realize that this was probably discussed at length here when these changes went into effect, but any recent experience and opinions would be appreciated.
Thanx!
